OSKALOOSA, Iowa (Reuters) - Facing colossal odds in the Republican nomination race, presidential candidate Michele Bachmann cast her struggle in Biblical terms on Sunday in a late attempt to win over conservative voters.

Bachmann spoke from the pulpit of a small church in rural Iowa, telling the congregation about a small group of Israelites who emerged victorious from a battle in which they were outmatched in numbers and weaponry.

"I admonish you, don't for one moment think that your adversity is one that cannot be scaled," said Bachmann, who has been beset by a series of setbacks, most recently her sixth-place finish in an influential poll on Saturday.

Several "Amens" rang out in the Jubilee Family Church when congresswoman Bachmann said the Israelites' victory was due to their faith in God, who smote their foes.
